Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

How does one go about preparing for, applying to and doing well at general counsel jobs? I’m a senior in house counsel and looking to get to the next level and take on a leadership role. Also battling impostor syndrome - I think many of us hold ourselves back. Are there any GC boot camps, books, training programs, coaching, mentorship programs and anything else that could help take me to the next level?

On indeed, this employer gave interview date options and it turns out if you select another date (which is one of their options) they will disqualify you from the interview process. I submitted my application this Sunday , sent me an interview invitation on Monday , I sent my requested interview time Monday too, and now the job has been filled

I had an interview with a CD today who sounded bored and unimpressed throughout the call. The slot was for 45 mins but it was over in 20.

I’ve been prepping hard for M&A technicals (reading R&P, biws400) for a move to an MM IB firm but got hit up to interview for a T2 consulting firm (LEK, EYP, OY).

My goal is to break into PE potentially but I’m not sure if it’s worth putting in effort for T2 consulting interviews because I believe exits from T2 are more limited compared to an MM IB like JEF. My question really boils down to how do exits from a T2 compare to that of a top MMIB? Appreciate any and all insights!

Had an in person interview went great. Got spec assigned about a week later. Turned it in and crickets ever since. I Know they haven’t hired anyone.

Recently read this quote by Seth Godin: “Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers.” What do you all think about this?

Does anyone have strong rationale for why it seem like big brands hardly ever include trademark or register symbols on their logo anymore? When I was coming up as a designer trademarking the logo was a very important step in branding.

I’m starting to think there is a very dark side to marketing. My whole job is basically manipulating people into spending money, often money they can’t afford. I’m really starting to question my career.

What happens when small businesses can’t afford those kinds of things?

Potential company: A marketplace that sells used phones online and has been profitable for 5+ years.

When I started in this industry, it was all about radio and direct mail. Now, most are doing video content and influencer marketing. What do you think our children will be influenced by?

Is anyone else getting tired of these awful radio ads with car honking noises that are being played over and over again? I know I am. They're so obnoxious, and they never seem to stop!
